24.

Jeonghan exhaled quietly as he woke up. He sat upright and rubbed his eyes as he glanced around the room blearily. Jeonghan grabbed a glass of water from the stand next to his bed and gulped it down thirstily before setting it back on the stand. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

Jeonghan sighed and fell backwards again, hoping to get a little bit more sleep. He winced as his head hit a hard surface, and he felt someone run a hand through his hair, stroking the sore spot on his head soothingly. Jeonghan smiled and leaned into the hand, shutting his eyes calmly. Suddenly, he heard a chuckle.

"You okay? You hit my arm pretty hard there, babe," Seungcheol said, sounding amused.

"I told you not to call me that," Jeonghan mumbled back, snuggling into Seungcheol's chest.

Seungcheol continued to pet Jeonghan's hair comfortingly. He wrapped his other arm around Jeonghan's body and pulled Jeonghan closer, causing the younger boy to let out a content hum. The pair stayed like that for a few minutes before Seungcheol's phone started to ring loudly. Jeonghan huffed in annoyance, and Seungcheol shot him an apologetic smile.

"Who is it?" Seungcheol answered softly. Jeonghan listened curiously.

"It's me. You didn't forget that you have a signing today, right? Jeonghan can come along too," Seungcheol's manager said. "I'll come by in a few hours so we can all get lunch together."

"Okay, I understand," Seungcheol answered, still muffling his voice. "Mhm. You too. Bye. See you soon."

"How much longer can I lay here before I have to get ready?" Jeonghan asked.

"Well, if you really wanna get more sleep, we can save time and take a shower together," Seungcheol teased with a smirk. Jeonghan rolled his eyes.

"Shut up," Jeonghan muttered. Seungcheol laughed.

"Go back to sleep, love. Get some more rest. I'll wake you up in fifteen minutes," Seungcheol said.

"Okay. Love you," Jeonghan mumbled as he started to doze off.

"You too."

"Hey, Jeonghan, wake up. We're meeting our friends soon. You gotta get up now. Come on, I've already let you sleep in too much." Seungcheol's voice brought Jeonghan out of his sleep.

"Hm? Has it already been fifteen minutes?" Jeonghan yawned.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Seungcheol replied. "Never mind. C'mon, you have to start getting ready now, or we're gonna be late."

"Mm, okay," Jeonghan conceded. He pulled himself up and hugged Seungcheol. "If you still want to, you can join me. I don't mind. You said it saves time, right?"

"W-What? What are you talking about?" Seungcheol asked in confusion, and that's when Jeonghan was struck by realization.

Jeonghan had been dreaming about his crush while he was asleep, and the Seungcheol that was in front of him currently was the real one. Jeonghan had just told his crush that if Seungcheol wanted to, the two of them could take a shower together. Jeonghan's face heated up in embarrassment. His feelings were really getting out of hand.
